StatsGuru Filters for Tom Armitage


Profile:

His performances in his two Tests - the first two played - were said to be far below his normal form, although he was given little opportunity to display his unusual bowling ability. He combined medium pace round-arm delivery with slow lobs, the latter earning him 13 wickets for Yorkshire against Surrey in 1876, and making a great impression on James Southerton, who thought it was as good example of lob bowling as he'd ever seen. He was an all rounder, a competent bat, and excellent fielder. Emigrating to the USA after his retirement, he died in Chicago (DL, 2000).
